15 Creative Uses for Pegboard

Creative Uses for Pegboard

Pegboard is an inexpensive and easy way to organize supplies just about anywhere: garage, office, kitchen, craft room, kids room — anywhere! Slap a coat of paint on it and it can even match your decor and look much less brown and utilitarian. But pegboard is good for more than just hanging on a wall to hold your stuff. Check out these 15 creative uses for pegboard:

For Kids

Kid’s Closet Organization: Think outside the box — pegboard can organize so much more than tools! Slippers By Day used painted pegboard to both update and organize her baby’s closet and toys.

Big Kid Playroom Geoboard: A pegboard quickly becomes an educational tool when paired with some rubberbands and a little bit of imagination! Get the details on this giant geoboard from I Am Momma Hear Me Roar

Pegboard Display Wall in a Kids’ Shared Bedroom: If you have kids who are constantly fighting about what should be on the walls of the shared room, or who are perpetually redecorating — make it easier with a full pegboard wall where they can quickly and easily change the display themselves. You can sneak in some useful organizing, too! See more of this pegboard wall at Ramblings from Utopia.

Headboards

Union Jack Painted Headboard: If you need a simple headboard that can stand up to some rough-and-tumble kids play, painted pegboard can fit any theme you choose! A pair of wire baskets give room for nighttime reading, glasses, or a clip-on lamp. See how House for Five painted her Union Jack headboard.

Simple Method for a Tufted Headboard: A tufted headboard is a classic look and an easy DIY. 320 Sycamore makes it even easier with a shortcut to tufting by using pegboard.
